    Use 'em as a spit patch, got a little whang to them, though. :barf:

    To little powder in pan???

    Mr. Cat... One of the greatest benefits of this Forum is the quantity of advice freely given out. :thumbsup: No one will ever be able to accuse me of having had an original thought in my life, so when I glean several opinions here it gives me things to try for myself. Then I stick with...

    .54 caliber in flint...

    Zoar, I may have to build a kit, although I would rather not. I can work metal fairly well, but the wood will probably turn out as if I held a beaver to it as a power tool. :cursing:

    .54 caliber in flint...

    Mr. Frizzen, I have seen these advertised, but I was not aware of any in flintlock. I do agree that it would be a very good match for my GPR.

    .54 caliber in flint...

    Greetings, All, I have been looking for a pistol to be a companion to my GPR, but have yet not found one due to my being a nit-picker. :youcrazy: These would be the specifications: .54 caliber so as to use the same PRB as my rifle. Flintlock so as to not need both caps and rocks. Hooked...

    They must be multiplying...

    roundball... Here in my area, prices are noticeably going up on most staples. If widespread, rampant inflation were to occur as I remember during the "Jimmy" years, would it not be better to sell the guns at a later date? I consider them an investment that seldom loses. Also, you can go and...

    .45 t/c hawken info

    cmdrted... Sometimes it is possible, well worth a try anyway, to snag the patch with a bristle brush. Push the brush down on top of the patch and give it a little turn before attempting to withdraw it. Might just work! :yakyak: "Less powder, more lead. Shoots further, kills dead."

    flintlock firing

    trader... Please be aware that if your hat has a very wide brim, it may channel some of the pan flash back towards you. If wearing a ball cap, I turn it around in the fashion of the younger people to avoid this possibility. I also second the advice to fire primed pans at your location. Make...

    Pietta 1858 Rem owners...

    NRAJOE... On my 2nd Model Dragoon, I was using .457 balls and it would shave off a nice little ring. Just be aware that the little piece of lead should be removed. One time I didn't and the piece of lead got blown into my wife's upper arm. :cursing: We removed it with needlenose pliers and...

    Lyman which one

    Buster... Seeing that the .50 and .54 can use similar powder charges ranging from small plinking to manufacturer's maximum recommended, it is the user who determines this. Smaller charges kick less, obviously, and one could put more powder into the .50 and arrive at a greater kick than a...

    Black Powder Smoke

    Greetings, Salutations and all that Rot... Is black powder smoke a contributor to Global Warming/Climate Change/Whatever? :hmm: Just a question, I'm not interested in hard facts, just immediate knee-jerk opinion that needs no basis in science or research. Thanking you in advance for your...

    Lyman which one

    Buster... Get the Great Plains Rifle, I would recommend the .54. Shoot the heck out of it to work out the bugs. You can always add the Hunter fast twist barrel at a later date, when finances permit, or order them both and save on shipping. I have had no issues with barrel interchangeability...

    I have small balls now.

    Musketman... You are absolutely correct, it only occurred to me after I no longer had it that I could practice making char-cloth. Forgive me, I had a life-or-death decision to make at the time. Since I have three cats in total I was not able to determine the guilty party. I sure hope this...

    I have small balls now.

    Russ... Thank you for the suggestion! Although it is too late now, trash has already run, in the interest of furthering knowledge I should have at least made an attempt to see if this new-found patch lube had any redeeming qualities. With all of the discussions concerning different lubes and...

    I have small balls now.

    Greetings... On a recent visit to the only store in my area that still somewhat caters to the Traditional aspects of our interest, I ran across a box of Hornady .520 swaged balls that I obtained for my T/C non-Hawken. Using .530s the loading was difficult with a clean bore, harder after about...

    Touch hole liners

    sproulman... Interesting -- I will let the forum know should the threads in the barrel enlarge, at least I will be watching for it now. I am sticking with anti-seize grease for now, or if in the field, at least some kind of lubricant, perhaps patch lube, anything to avoid dry threads. I fear...

    Touch hole liners

    Mr. Wild... I look at it from a different viewpoint. My liner is removable and I do so every time that I clean the barrel. However, you may not have a hooked breech to set the breech end into a pail of water. I can clean the fire channel and inspect it easily. You may not have a "patent...
